Can I create a connection without modifying tnsnames.ora?

Can I create a connection without modifying tnsnames.ora?

I have a db in a remote server which is accesible using ping or telnet. However, I don't have the permissions to modify the tnsnames.ora file.

How could I access the db using PL/SQL Developer?
